Overview
*----------------------------*
This repository contains the data and Stata do-files required to reproduce all results reported in the paper “Eliciting Probabilities in the Field: Beads vs Sliders”. The study compares two visual aids for probability elicitation—Beads (discrete) and a Slider (continuous)—using field experiments conducted in Nigeria, Honduras, and Spain.

All analyses can be reproduced by running a single master do-file, which sequentially calls all other scripts.

*----------------------------*
Data Description
*----------------------------*
The dataset includes individual-level survey data from four field experiments conducted between 2018 and 2019:

- Nigeria – Study 1
- Nigeria – Study 2
- Honduras – Study 3
- Spain (Andalusia) – Study 4

Each observation corresponds to one adult respondent. The data include elicited probabilities, individual socio-demographic characteristics, treatment indicators (Slider vs. Beads), and timing variables. All datasets are fully anonymized and contain no personally identifiable information.

Stata Do-files
*----------------------------*

- 00_Masterfile.do
  Main replication file. Running this do-file reproduces all data cleaning procedures, analyses, tables, and figures in the paper.

- Data_cleaning.do
  Cleans and harmonizes the raw datasets across studies, constructs analysis variables, and generates the final datasets used in the analysis.

- Do_analysis.do
  Produces all statistical analyses, tables, and figures reported in the paper.

*----------------------------*
Replication Instructions
*----------------------------*

1. Open Stata (version 15 or later recommended).
2. Set the working directory to the folder containing all files in this repository.
3. Run the following command in Stata:
   do 00_Masterfile.do
4. All intermediate datasets, tables, and figures will be generated automatically.

Software Requirements
- Stata 15 or later

Notes
- The code uses relative paths to ensure portability across systems.
- Execution time may vary depending on system performance.
- All results reported in the paper are generated directly from the scripts included in this repository.
